Once the 747s arrived the 707s were often leased out also - Zambia, BCAL, Qantas, Bangladesh Biman, Arkia and Libyan being ones that I can remember. Aer Lingus flew 707s on some IT charters in Europe also, generally on longer routes such as Rhodes, Heraklion and the Canaries but also Palma, for example. In the latter years only one machine (EI-ASO) remained and it was used almost exclusively on charter services during the summer. In winter it was used for the odd ad hoc service or leased out (as it was to Arkia in 1984/5).
